Haiku

Life could be a pond.

While some paddle, some drown too.

How will you go swim?

Walking with Jessica is one of my favorite things to do. I saw this puddle, and thought, “I should write a haiku.” And so I did.

Side note: Yes, I know. It is a puddle, not a pond. But you can’t really write a haiku about a puddle, can you…

I really just wanted to post this to update my life. NITOC ended a bit ago, and it was AMAZING. I’m now missing all my friends who are going off to college next year. Walking around, loafing about, and watching speeches was really all I did (besides competing myself) at NITOC. It was fabulous.

Summer Shakespeare started the week of NITOC, so I’m going to have to catch up, although I’m sure it won’t be hard. I love the Shakespeare group. The only reason I did the play this year is that one of my friends (who may or may not be reading this) doesn’t know many of the people in the group. So, I thought I would join the fun with them. I can’t wait until the first meeting! It is tomorrow, and I am very, very excited.

Oh yeah, Disneyland. I LOVE DISNEYLAND. Except… well, see, I’m not the biggest fan of all the events and shows and things. And by “not the biggest fan” I mean that I very much dislike going to the shows. My parents wanted to go to the Mad T party and the parade, and I said that I didn’t want to go to the parade. The Mad T party was awesome! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I thought that I would hate it, but surprisingly, I loved it. My parents agreed to not do the parade, but we did anyway. I was not happy. I was in a bad mood. I really wanted to leave Disneyland. I finally got through it, and then I realized that the fireworks were next. AHH!! Eventually, I took my Skewb (that’s a type of Rubik’s cube) out of my backpack, and started playing with it. My mood improved.

Disneyland is stressful sometimes, and you have to learn how to treat situations. I’ve learned another life lesson.
